he put to wayne lapierre a question and a thought. take a listen to this response. >> senator, there is not a law-abiding firearms owner across this united states that wasn't torn to pieces by what happened in sandy hook. they just don't believe that their constitutional right to own a firearm and the fact they can protect their family with a firearm resulted in the problem. >> stephen, i wanted to give you a chance to respond to that. >> i mean, it's frankly no surprise to me that wayne lapierre wouldn't commit to taking this promise that is devoted to finding common sense solutions to violence in our society. i mean, there's a big difference between, you know, the people that wayne lapierre was talking about. the rank and file members of the nra and him and his gun lobby buddies. that was fully on display this afternoon during the hearing. >> julian, what do you make of that? this notion has been discussed at length. the constituency that we talked about in the open that the nra claims to represent and what stephen is talking about.

wayne lapierre, this comment sounds reasonable until you think about it. law abiding gun owners will not accept blame for the acts of deranged criminals. a law abiding gun owner is responsible for what happened in newtown, connecticut. a law abiding mother was a gun owner, by all accounts, and that law abiding gun owner couldn't control her weapons, and those weapons were eventually used to kill her and to kill all of those children and those women educators in that school. so that is what one law abiding gun owner got us. >> that is a good point, lawrence. >> and that is what neil heslin was saying in his testimony, was that that woman should never have had those weapons in that home with -- you know, knowing the condition of her kid. and so the -- the ways in which wayne lapierre tries to shatter off the debate have more holes in them than he realizes when he is trying to advance this kind of testimony. >> you know i hope what happens, had he testifies in the committee tomorrow is that the nra presses him on the second amendment. does that mean that citi

wayne lapierre is expected to say law abiding gun owners will not accept blame for the acts of deranged or violent criminals. he says that the background checks issue according to him lets be honest, they will never work because criminals never submit to them. molly, this is supposed to be the least controversial. with the polling, the one thing that those that hold on to the second amendment and feel that the obama administration wants to come after their guns still support, you know, some type of legislation on background checks. or universal background checks. >> sure. what i think we can read in to that is the nra sees it as their job, their mandate to oppose any form of gun control. that's what their members expect from them. the fact that something like that still polls so highly and still has some traction even among republican legislators tells you that the nra is not successful in dictating the party line. that the nra can be against something and there will still be leaders in the congress and in the public who feel that they have the freedom to deviate from that, that the nra
